HANDS ON: Team SOUTHTOWN | Geese, Yamazaki, Billy Kane | King of Fighters XV DLC 

So far, all of KOF XV's DLC has been stellar. Zero complaints about any of the character choices they made, it's an extremely rare "I love all these characters" across the board for me.

Love how everyone in chat started losing their minds when they saw Yamazaki's moves, truly one of SNK's best characters.

It is so surreal watching characters that I only know from playing KoF in my childhood and instantly recognizing them, their moves and mannerisms. Some things are just etched into your brain and unforgettable. Yamazaki's maniacal laugh and fits of insanity have stayed with me for nearly 2 decades man.

The fact Rock and Geese have a fateful encounter OST is sick. I'm really excited to see the full version of Geese and Rock epic theme and their interaction with each other so I can learn more about their canon lore in KOF. Geese Yamazaki and Billy skillsets look dope. I like their climax but I think Geese has the best one out all of the two.

God Yamazaki's max Drill grounding you into the floor then blasting you is so fucking cool

While I understand that the alternate costumes are more or less what they look like in XIV, I’m glad they were included for free.

"You cannot escape from DEATH" ~ Geese Howard

I always loved Geese's Rashomon, when the 羅生門 appears in the background, you just feel the impact of the blow at that exact moment.

Is it just me, or does Geese have HUGE hands and a somewhat small head? O.o Also when picking them up off the ground in a combo: "POOR BASTARD!" I LOVE that. lol

LMAO ! Billy #8 is straight up Kiryu Kazuma in Yakuza 0 Yamazaki end up being the best of the 3 characters. I love how much fun they make Yamazaki in this gam.

So they have Yamazaki flexing his coat and they brought back his Fatal Fury 3 wear as an alt costume? Based.

FUN TIP: That bridge is Billy Kane's original stage in Fatal Fury 1. It was a cross the way from Sound Beach (This stage, which belonged to Michael Max (The boxer in yellow on the Sound Beach stage) in Fatal Fury 1).

I told myself back when kof came out that I'd wait for team south town to come out so I can have my boys rock geese and yamazaki and now with them out ina few days and my copy of kof on its way I'm very excited for yamazaki always wanted to play him and now even more so thanks for showing them early dood!

I like the Power Geyser nod that Yamazaki has at the end of his full-power Lv. 3.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Maximilian This DLC look fantastic, it’s seems like they have kept what ppl know of these characters from recent games and just played around with the animations and frames. Can’t wait to try Southtown’s most infamous sons when this DLC goes live.

0:27 oh my fucking god they gave Geese a Joker suit.

Hoping they put Geese in the boss mode. Would be a good way to put N.Geese as a costume

While this is absolutely the classic Geese voice, after hearing it so long I kinda miss his dialogue voice from T7, for what few lines he had Richard Epcar did a shockingly good impression.

I miss yamazaki’s knife and they really got rid of his drill from his parry. I didn’t know geese lost his charge forward move. I’m guessing his rekkas replaced it

I cant wait to play geese, I have waited for him for too long

Geese’s color 7 looks like Joker (2019)

Ok this showcase may just get me to buy this game. These characters look fun as hell!! Thanks max for continuing to show me new games and new fanchises for us casuals that got into fighting games because of your content. Your the best!

Ryuji is the character making me buy this game, love his style He needs to be a guest in the next Yakuza game as a boss

In KOF 98 UM Geese got the fwd+LK into the otg grab as well, but is only visible when the enemy is on the ground.

They made Yamazaki even crazier 👀

1:11 Color 8 on Billy is literally just Kiryu from Yakuza 0. That's awesome.

Did billy stole Terry's jacket from KOF 14?

I'm excited for Billy, been a Billy player since 13 and though max doesn't show him off very well, I got the gist of it. Billy's always been about absurd juggles and canceling specials into specials at specific timing to do cool shit, he's less about normal hits. All three of these characters look dope, and Billy's classic costume slight redesign is a big improvement over the "Overalls man" he used to be.

I like how the music just stops during the Geese Climax thats sick!

Yamazaki's fan since 97 and I'm loving this version. But something I noticed on his coat is that SNK is perfecting clothes physics. Can't wait to see what they are going to do with Kim's pants.

0:22 He just wants a quiet life.

Yamazaki needs to be in a Yakuza game already!

13:58 it is looking crazy. Yamazaki always be my fav character.

God im gunna end up grabbing this game too

BILLY COLOR 8 IS LITERALLY JUST KIRYU

The band in the background of that stage look like they are stop motion action figures, kind of charming.

Cannot wait for Team: *Rock has two dads.*

Yamazaki is violence incarnate, so glad he's back in this!

KoF tournament rules to Yamazaki: *Dude, you cannot bring a knife anymore* Yamazaki after seeing the entire stage full of chairs, tables, pipes and anything blunt or sharp in sight: *... Okay*

Yamazaki is so cool in this game i am very excited

Is it just me or does the goose sound like Japanese josh brolin 😆 love it

Billy’s Alternate 6 has him repping the Toronto Raptors.

thanks max

I love that Yamazaki keeps his drippy ass coat on when he fights

So Max has confirmed he is a blood. Suwoop my friend, suwoop

Anyone else notice the DOT during Yamazaki's climax

Nice breakdown! They really went all in with Yamazaki's insanity-laced mannerisms! How funny would it have been if true to the Fatal Fury ending, if Billy's punching bag was Joe? XD

Yamazaki is a fkn beast as always!!!

Man, I just can't seem to get into the gameplay of KOFXV yet, but holy hell these characters are pretty fuckin cool

this team is very interesting I can't wait to see what people do with these guys

0:27 we live in a society - Joker

Yamazaki is so dope. Holy shit

There is alot of freedom with geese and team south town in general. Off the specials alone there are a variety of routes to take wich makes me very interested to play.

I personally feel that the last suit that billy has is similar to the one kiryu used in yakuza 0

Billy looks so freaking cool man

The drip bois

Damn! Yamazaki looks awesome!

Bro my steam version can't synchronize with the steam cloud so I won't even be able to play online or with any of the dlc's and I don't know how to fix it. If anyone knows, would you please help?

Thanks for providing that gangsta content max

0:20 Dude, Geese's 4th default costume color is just straight up Lupin the 3rd.

That's pretty fucking badass special sick

My all time favorite psycho never sleeping boss Yamasaki is in the game again! And he looks so good and fun to play!

Oh hell nah they gave him the Joker outfit 💀

Oh they all have alt costumes! Aaahhhhh sick sick. I'm so excited. This isn't an actual negative but my only remotely negative reaction is I have to oooo many characters I wanna play. Can't wait for mods too.

My favorite yamazaki palette is the St Patrick's palette

I have been a Billy Cane fan since his first appearance but now because of The Boondocks when he does his taunt I hear Colonel H. Stinkmeaner yelling "I got three stick nunchucks!".

ACCEPTABLE!!

Can't wait to play team South Town with Geese and Yamazaki as my mains. Perhaps this is fate.

Hopefully I get the south town team. Look so fun.

Geese and Yamazaki look amazing

Goddamn I love this. So fucking happy Ryuzaki keeps his 40/10 super!

I don’t know if it was part of the sponsorship, but I do appreciate the face cam for how you react to the team.

Damn, all of Yamazaki's lvl3s STILL look fantastic

Nice looks cool.

Its just now occurring to me, is Yamazaki still an Orochi boi in Fatal Fury continuity since that was an added on thing due to kof lore but kof lore is separate from FF lore, so is it just 2 Yamazaki's running around but one has slightly extra evilness?

they ALL look great! Yamazaki looks goddamn N U T S!

I was really hoping for Duck King.

Wait. So Yamasaki is who I’m looking forward to the most?! Let’s Go!!!

Should try Billy looks fun to play.

Anyone notice Geace's 7th color is basically The Joker Suit. The Joker movie Joker

wow max not showing his face in a long time, so old school i like it.

Can't wait to see Max bring Rock, Geese and Ralph (or Terry) online.

Yamazaki for the win..🙌🙌🙌🙌

Geese can finally cancel his close D into command moves, he also has better light confirms, his qcbAB crumples now, he also has moon slasher, and EX moonslasher (Tekken 7 version which launches), a new extension from his wrecka, an EX version of his command grab, and his Rashomon. Geese got buffed to hell in XV. I wonder if he can still loop his jumping A into Shippuken like he could in XIV. He also looks really fun to play, he is definitely a combo character.

I’m new to kof but know geese thanks to t7 so he’ll be my main but this yamizaki guy looks awesome and hilarious, he might replace rugal although rugals specials are so handy imo especially his reflect

Yamazaki looks like a sweet kind, love able gentlemen like always. Billy kind of looks broken, I don’t know. But definitely they all look fun to play as. Can’t wait til Tuesday I believe.

High level Geese play is gonna be fun to watch. And Yamazaki is just a fun character in general.

Shouldn't Billy's base reach be a little longer? Think about how far Ralph's basic kick was.

Im jealous, i wish I had early access, I just got the platinum yesterday, so I think that's acceptable 🤣

YOOOO they gave Billy Kiryu's suit from Yakuza 0 on his #8 default 😂

Geese has got monstrous hands.

Gesse and Yamazaki with the huge hands

Let's go Team My Two Dads (Terry, Geese, Rock)

cool that we have team south town and team second south in the same game

If there's one thing I learn from the first minute of this video, is that Max doesn't like the color green.

GEEEEEESSE!!!!!

Yay Zaki! 😍😍😍

Yamazaki is a menace

I love Billy, I wish Max enjoyed them more.

billy's white color for his main costume is exactly like yakuza 0 kyriu
